Label Printing

This Quixy feature allows users to print labels effortlessly, ensuring accurate information tagging for objects. Whether for warehouse management, event check-ins, or logistics, automated label printing helps streamline operations and reduce errors.

Prerequisites: What You Need Before You Begin

Before you begin configuring and using the label printing feature, ensure the following:

• A Text Box Field must be present in the application to capture the printer's name.

• A Zebra Printer must be connected to your device via Bluetooth or USB.

Why is Label Printing Important?

Imagine you’re managing a huge event with hundreds of attendees. People are checking in, receiving badges, and collecting materials. Suddenly, chaos erupts—some badges are missing, some tickets are handwritten and unreadable, and the printer isn’t set up correctly. The line grows, people get frustrated, and everything slows down.

Now, picture a better scenario:

• Each attendee’s badge prints automatically as they check in.

• The system instantly generates clear, professional labels, reducing wait times.

• Everything stays organized, and no one scrambles for last-minute fixes.

This is why an efficient label printing system is essential—it ensures accuracy, reduces delays, and keeps operations running smoothly in businesses, events, logistics, and beyond.

How to configure Label Printing?

Imagine you're managing a warehouse where hundreds of products are received and dispatched daily. Without proper labeling, items can easily get misplaced, leading to confusion, inefficiency, and even financial losses.

Now, let’s take an application called Label Printing System that simplifies this entire process.

This application provides a seamless label printing solution that integrates directly into your workflow:

• Enter Item Details: Input product information such as Item Code, Item Name, and Quantity into the system.

• Select the Printer: Choose the desired printer from the available options to ensure the label is printed correctly.

• One-Click Label Printing: Simply click the Print Label button, and a neatly formatted label is generated and printed instantly.

By implementing this streamlined process, every product is accurately tagged, reducing errors, preventing misplacements, and enhancing overall operational efficiency.

Steps to Configure Label Printing:

1. Open the application where label printing is required.

2. Navigate to the Events tab.

3. Click on Quick Flows to add actions.

4. Click on the + Add button.

5. Enter a name for the event.

6. Select the Workflow Step and Action.

7. Choose Automatic Print as the Quick Flow type.

8. Click Next to proceed to the Conditions tab.

9. In the Conditions tab, define when this Quick Flow should be triggered. By default, it is set to trigger unconditionally.

10. Select the printer from the select printer dropdown.

11. Click Configure to open the Configure Quick Flow pop-up.

12. Enter the ZPL code, which instructs the Zebra Printer to print the label with the provided data.

13. Click Save to complete the configuration.

Note:

• The options available in the Select Printer drop-down are based on the text box fields in the application. To capture the printer's name, you must have a separate text box field named "Printer Name" in the application. Select this text box field in the Select Printer drop-down.

• Zebra Printers are compact-sized printers commonly used in grocery stores.

  

• Zebra Programming Language (ZPL) serves as the command language for all ZPL-compatible printers. This command-based language provides printers with instructions to create the images printed on labels.

Printing Labels with Ease

Now that you’ve set up label printing, here’s how you can use it effectively:

For the Quixy Mobile App:

• Connect the Zebra printer to your mobile phone via Bluetooth.

• Find the printer's name in your mobile's Bluetooth settings.

• Enter the exact printer's name in the Printer Name field when adding a record in the app.

• The Printer Field in the configuration page automatically captures this printer name.

• Once a record is added, the printer triggers automatically to print a label.

For the Quixy Web App:

• If using a Bluetooth connection, follow the same steps as in the mobile app.

• If using a USB connection, install JS Print Manager software to retrieve the printer’s name.

• Follow the same steps as the mobile app to print a label.

Automated label printing in Quixy streamlines workflows and ensures professional-quality labels with accuracy and efficiency. Whether for events, warehouses, or logistics, this feature eliminates manual errors and speeds up operations.
